even militias that support federalism in benghazi do not have that. that is the great balance of power in favor of the libyan state in terms of eventually being able to absorb this. that have been trying to roll up programs to get militia members into the ministry of the interior. the good news is there has been interest in it. the big question is, what are you talking about when you talk about the libyan state? are we talking about militia groups joining the remnants of the gaddafi military? that is the big fear, especially in the east. some particular communities would dominate the military apparatus. they would certainly mess around with their neighbors a bit. that is the issue. to me, there is a danger right now that the army reject what the interior ministry did nine or 12 months ago, saying you are not functioning on our behalf. the militia groups still have autonomy over weapons, recruitment, the ability to mess around with guns, double dip. it seems to me the army is now going down that route. i spoke to the brother of a commander this morning

consulate in benghazi, libya. the president condemned the video, but he insisted there is no justification for mindless violence. >> given the power of faith in our lives and the passion that religious differences can inflame, the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression. it is more speech. the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect. >> woodruff: mr. obama also had a new warning on iran's nuclear program. yesterday iranian leader ahmadinejad repeated his claim that the program is only for peaceful purposes, an explanation the u.s. and other countries dismiss. today the president said again iran cannot be allowed to build nuclear weapons. >> let me be clear. america wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy. we believe that there is still time and space to do so. but that time is not unlimited. make no mistake, a nuclear-armed iran is not a challenge that can be contained. it would threaten the elimination of israe
